Conversation and access
We find out what is happening with the system, who depends on it and what access is available.
Business system takeover and maintenance
If your company's system has become slow, unstable or has been left without a developer, we take it over, find the causes of the problems and continue its maintenance and development. We work with Laravel, Statamic, Drupal and other PHP systems, their databases, servers and integrations. A system does not need rebuilding if it can be fixed.
What the service covers
Fast diagnostics
We analyse logs, the server, the database and the code to find out why the system is slow, throws errors or stops, and fix what blocks your work first.
Access and knowledge transfer
We sort out access to the server, repository, database and external services, and gather what is known about the system in one place.
Performance and stability
We optimise queries, caching, queues and server settings so the system stays fast even with large volumes of data.
Integrations
We maintain and fix connections to accounting, warehouse, payment and government information systems.
Updates and security
We upgrade the framework, PHP and libraries to supported versions and install security fixes, testing everything in a staging environment first.
Further development
Once the system is stable, we keep developing it with new features and process automation.
How the takeover works
Staging and diagnostics
We set up a copy of the system in a staging environment and reproduce the problems there, so nothing changes in production before we know the cause.
Urgent fixes
We fix the errors that stop work or put data at risk, testing them in staging before release.
Plan
We prepare a change plan with priorities, risks and scope of work.
Maintenance
We agree on the scope of maintenance, response times and further development.
Is your system slow, unstable or without a developer?
We reply within one working day.
When a system needs taking over
Clients come to us when the previous developer is no longer available, when the system slows down as data grows, when errors keep recurring and nobody knows why, or when the framework version has reached end of support. Often the system does not need rebuilding. It is enough to find the causes and remove them.
An example from practice
We took over esfondi.lv, the Ministry of Finance's portal, from another developer when pages took about 5 seconds to load. After debugging, caching and server optimisation, pages now load instantly, even without a cache. Read about the project
For public sector institutions
We work with staging environments, documented changes and handover reports, as the maintenance of public information systems requires.
Frequently asked questions
Can you take over a system that has no documentation?
Yes. We study the code, database, server settings and integrations ourselves and document them during the takeover.
Will the system need to be rebuilt?
Not always. We first assess what can be fixed. If a rebuild makes more sense, we compare both routes by cost and risk.
How quickly can you start?
Urgent problems come first. We agree when to start after the first conversation, once we know what has happened and what access is available.
What does the price depend on?
On the size of the system, the state of the code and server, the number of integrations and how many urgent fixes are needed. We give you the scope of work after the diagnosis.
